Spring camp just finished, but nobody on the Louisville football team secured or squandered a starting job five months before the season opener.

Still, the stock for several Cardinals rose. And, on the other hand, some players missed the spring with injury and will take some time to regain full speed before the fall.

Looking back at the projected depth chart we did after National Signing Day in February, here were some of the biggest shifts apparent in the spring game on Friday night:

Running back

When all is said and done here, the status quo may in fact prevail: Dae Williams, Colin Wilson, Trey Smith, Malik Staples, in order. But for now, all four scholarship running backs are hurt. Only Wilson dressed for the spring game Friday, and he tore his ACL on Sept. 30.

The coaches spoke highly of Smith, who seemed to be making progress until he didn’t play Friday, so he may have moved up the depth chart. Smith is entering his fourth year in the program, where Wilson is in his second and Staples is in his first as a running back.

The biggest winner of the spring may well have been redshirt sophomore fullback Tobias Little, who capitalized on injuries elsewhere, carved out a role carrying the ball in addition to blocking and then topped it all off with 13 carries for 77 yards and a touchdown in the spring game.

Wide receiver

It’s going to be hard to gain ground here after Louisville returned pretty much every member of a group that was already productive in 2017. The room will become more crowded when senior Jaylen Smith’s wrist injury heals. But the big mover of the spring was Tutu Atwell, a former quarterback and sprinter who proved he has the speed to help the Cards right away. He may not start, but Louisville will find a way to get him the ball.

Offensive line

The clear standout here is sophomore Cole Bentley, who began his freshman season as a reserve but filled in for the injured Mekhi Becton late in the year and forced the coaches to find playing time for him even after Becton returned. Bentley has moved from guard to center, where he appears to have a stronghold on the starting job after 2017 starter Robbie Bell missed the spring game.

Defensive line

One name we’ll add to the depth chart is freshman Jarrett Jackson, a tall, physical end who appeared to be overshadowed by more experienced junior-college transfers Michael Boykin and Jared Goldwire entering the offseason.

Jackson, an early enrollee from Milledgeville, Georgia, made an early statement in the spring game by launching through the line to sniff out a handoff to Maurice Burkley. The opportunity is there for Jackson to make the rotation at defensive end.

Linebacker

The spring revealed quite a bit about this group, a mix of experience in fifth-year seniors Isaac Stewart and London Iakopo and youth in redshirt sophomore P.J. Blue and sophomore C.J. Avery. For now, experience appears to have the edge, as Stewart and Iakopo each garnered a bit more recognition during the spring. Dorian Etheridge is also the clear starter in the middle, giving Brian VanGorder a solid group at a position he’s coached the most in the past.

Standing pat: Jawon Pass is, of course, still the unquestioned starting quarterback. … Micky Crum and Kemari Averett are battling for playing time at the tight end position, with contrasting styles. Crum excels more at catching passes, while Averett is the bigger blocker. … Dee Smith and Khane Pass are the starters at safety, at least until sophomore TreSean Smith returns from a knee injury and Marlon Character and Trenell Troutman arrive in the fall. … P.J. Mbanasor and Rodjay Burns are still the standouts at cornerback, though Russ Yeast showed improvement Friday.
